“Away” rotations are used to get a sure residency interview invite. It is a way to increase the number of II for those applying to very selective residencies. The clinical exposure is very minimal during Med. School as med. students are not allowed to do much. It is more when they are AI. One of D’s classmates had 5 away rotations and she got an II from each. Cannot comment more than that, D. did not apply to a single away rotation.
